Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: What makes Critical Care Omnivore unique compared to herbivore formulas?

Ans: Critical Care Omnivore includes a balanced blend of animal, plant, and insect proteins, chelated minerals, and prebiotics to meet omnivorous nutritional needs, unlike herbivore-specific formulas with high-fiber-only bases.

Q2: Can Critical Care Omnivore support both mammals and reptiles?

Ans: Yes. The formula’s nutrient diversity and chelated minerals suit omnivorous mammals (rats, hamsters, hedgehogs) and omnivorous reptiles (bearded dragons), ensuring broad species compatibility during recovery.

Q3: How should I adjust slurry consistency for syringe feeding?

Ans: Mix equal parts powder and water to create a thin slurry that flows easily through feeding syringes. Increase water volume slightly for smaller-bore tubes or syringes as needed.

Q4: How frequently should I feed Critical Care Omnivore to a sick pet?

Ans: Administer divided feedings of 4-6 per day based on total daily dosage by weight. Consult your veterinarian to tailor frequency and volume to your pet’s condition and caloric requirements.

Q5: Is Critical Care Omnivore suitable for long-term nutritional support?

Ans: Designed for short-term recovery, Critical Care Omnivore should be replaced with species-appropriate maintenance diets once pets resume voluntary feeding. Consult a veterinarian for transition planning.
